An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel connecting an infected gland inside the anal canal to the skin around it. A fistula is called complex when it has multiple tracts or branches, sits high through a large part of the anal sphincter, has recurred after previous surgery, or is linked to conditions like Crohn's disease. These cases need careful planning to cure the fistula while protecting continence. At Dr Akash N Bagade Clinic, Dr Akash N Bagade treats complex fistula in Mumbai using advanced, sphincter-saving techniques guided by MRI fistulogram mapping.
Accurate MRI fistulogram identifies every tract and branch before treatment — the key to curing complex fistula and avoiding recurrence.
✔ Precise PlanningMinimally invasive laser and video-assisted techniques seal the tract from within — minimal cutting, faster healing.
✔ Minimally InvasiveTechniques like LIFT and seton are chosen to protect the anal sphincter and safeguard continence in high fistulas.
✔ Continence ProtectedFailed a previous fistula surgery? A structured re-assessment and re-do plan gives the best chance of a lasting cure.
✔ Second OpinionComplex fistula is not a condition for a "quick fix" — incomplete treatment leads to recurrence and repeated surgeries. A proper diagnosis, honest planning and the right sphincter-saving technique give the highest cure rate with the lowest risk to continence.
Dr Bagade evaluates each patient with clinical examination and MRI to plan the safest, most effective approach.
